Abstract
Capacity Development (CD) is one of the key pathways that drive impact for the CGIAR Research
Program (CRP) on Dryland Systems (hereinafter referred to as Dryland Systems), if well executed,
and one of the key performance indicators for the program’s success. The international trend in
agricultural research and innovation fora is to strengthen the focus on CD as necessary for
realizing impact on the ground. The development of the strategy took into consideration multiple elements including: analysis of
the status quo and of the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of current CD
interventions in Dryland Systems Centers and sites, existing CD partnership initiatives as well as
potential ones, analysis of CD needs and expectations of the local stakeholders and of Dryland
Systems teams, a review of innovative practices and examples from agricultural and nonagricultural
sectors especially universities and international CD institutions, the aspirations of
Dryland Systems management, the advice of the expert consultant and the pathways and
expected outcomes of Dryland Systems. These elements informed the development of what can
be described as cutting-edge strategy for the Program.
